NSW Football Legacy Fund - Participation Stream - Round 1

The NSW Football Legacy Fund is an initiative established by the NSW Government, Football NSW and Northern NSW Football as a result of NSW hosting FIFA Women’s World Cup matches in Sydney in July 2023.

The Fund aims to improve football facilities and support infrastructure, increase participation opportunities, and improve female player pathways.

The Fund will support football at all levels through the construction or upgrade of community facilities, participation initiatives, leadership and development programs.

A total of $650,000 (Ex GST) is available in Round 1 for participation projects. The Fund can be used to support increased football participation and leadership programs. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate how the project will contribute to greater gender equity in football or the applicant organisation.

The key objectives of the Participation Stream of the Fund are to:

• Increase participation in football
• Increase participation of women and girls and/or new markets
• Improve female leadership opportunities for players, officials and coaches
